Le parc national du Mont Péko (Côte d’Ivoire) entre dynamiques de déguerpissement, tensions sociales et logiques des acteurs : vers un risque d’explosion de violences

Abstract

The arrest in May 2013 of Amade Oueremi, the emblematic leader of mont Peko national park infiltrators, opened the way to a public policy of conservation and tourism development of this 34 000 ha protected area almost entirely colonized by cocoa farms. But the takeover of the park materialized by an eviction project that does not go ahead, faces logics of interests and tensions which, if not controlled, may permanently compromise both in any rehabilitation tourism project and relative peace in western Ivory Coast.
